Access 2016 error: The database cannot be opened because the vba project contained in it cannot be read

Question

When i try to open a database that was created using access 2016 (office 365), the message (The database cannot be opened because the vba project contained in it cannot be read) appears although everything was perfect and the database was ok. Is there any solution?

I would make a back-up, make another back-up and then first try importing everything into a new database.  Also, read this article...

And after all of that I would finish off with this article…

Answer 4

What version of Access was the database created in?  Though it does sound like you picked up a little corruption in that file.
